Magier werden geboren. Hexen werden gemacht. Und Herzen fallen dem dunkelsten aller Zauber zum Opfer.  Seit dem gewaltsamen Tod ihrer Eltern überlebt Lucinda Cross auf den Straßen der Unterstadt, bis eine überraschende Einladung alles verä Vorgoth, die Akademie der dunkelsten Künste, öffnet ihre Tore für die Gejagten und Unterdrückten der Magier-Herrschaft. Junge kriminelle Hexen und Hexer lernen hier, eine Verbindung mit Familiaren einzugehen, die ihnen magische Fähigkeiten verleihen, darunter Drachen, Basilisken oder Seraphim. Zwischen tödlichen Prüfungen und gewalttätigen Kommilitonen gerät Luci ins Visier zweier Männer, die gefährlicher sind als jeder schwarze den kaltherzigen Anführer der Studenten-Elite Devriel Malkov und den attraktiven Professor Ezra Aerion, der mehr über ihre Vergangenheit weiß, als er preisgibt. Denn die Mörder ihrer Familie sind näher, als Luci denkt. Schließlich muss sie entscheiden, wie viel sie zu opfern bereit ist – für ihre Rache, für die Liebe, für die Wahrheit. Doch Rache ist ein trügerischer Lehrer, Liebe endet in Verrat, und die Wahrheit schmeckt meist bitterer als jede Lüge.

From Alex Aster, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Lightlark series, comes her first adult romantasy. Enter the world of Starside, where swords wield magic and power is not inherited...but claimed. Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is the realm of magic and immortals—the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic. Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest to access a pool of magic that can heal, grant wealth, or extend life. Everyone has their reasons for entering, but Aris has only vengeance. As a child, a goddess set fire to her village, killing her family. Aris isn’t after the gods’ magic—she’s going to kill them. First, she must survive the Culling, the king’s deadly competition to choose his fifty challengers. An orphaned blacksmith’s apprentice, Aris doesn’t have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses. But the greatest swords—ones that contain power—are not inherited or bought, they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor—but a target. Getting past the gates is only the beginning. Starside is deadlier than it seems. If the ancient creatures, magic-wielding beasts, and bloodthirsty immortals weren’t dangerous enough, a new peril has even immortals fearing what rises from the ground at night. With a blade most would kill to claim, Aris can’t trust anyone. Especially not Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious king’s guard who betrayed her years ago—and who may now be the key to her survival. But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family’s death. And when it’s revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what’s coming…
